Council Members Put Everything But Riders First at 'Bus Oversight' Hearing - Streetsblog New York City The Council spent its last bus oversight hearing of its term asking the MTA and city to pull back on bus lane enforcement.

"Council Member Mercedes Narcisse (D-Canarsie), for instance, pushed a bill to permit the city [to] issue just one ticket per hour to drivers who park or drive in the bus lane."

That was eight months ago — and congestion pricing is far from dead as Trump's illegal bid to kill it flounders. buff.ly/DA9BgKx
